RESEARCH & INNOVATION

Leverage emerging innovation in education

In order to meet the needs of this generation, we must remain agile to new ideas.

As producers of research, strategy, and design, we are committed to leveraging emerging innovation — modifying certain systems and methodologies, adopting new approaches, and thinking differently as if our industry no longer existed.

We value being research-informed with data-driven evidence in successful instructional practice and emerging innovative models.

We value people-centered design principles that guide teaching and learning. Central to this, robust partnerships within a diverse network are imperative.

We choose to experiment with extraordinary ideas that one day might become the norm. We will not just build a roadmap for future generations, but we will continue to carve a path for the future of learning itself.

As technology advances to bring us new immersive worlds, how teachers must also advance towe educate children and prepare meet these new opportunities.

CULTURE & CONNECTION

Cultivating an inclusive, regenerative school culture

We reflect on the past to play a role in informing our preferred future for the next decade. Looking back, we have built something exceptional, an incredible foundation that will continue to push the mission and vision forward for generations to come. Transformation is not possible without the dedication of a high performing faculty and staff, a committed and connected parent community, and most importantly, an engaged and passionate student body.

While appreciating the progress of the past, we choose to meet current and future dynamic circumstances head on, accept them, and even incorporate them as a part of our journey. A readiness disposition will continue to strengthen our identity and resolve as we transform into a better version of ourselves.

Facing the future with courage, embracing the journey requires the School to stand firm by creating the ripples on the water needed to scale innovative, transformative experiences.

> A school of inquiry, innovation, and impact requires all learners to dialogue respectively with voices and perspectives that challenge us to grow.

> A community grounded in Christian values reflects a collective conviction to be givers rather than takers, to serve rather than be served, and to build up rather than tear down.

> A mission to prepare all students to be college ready, globally competitive, and engaged citizen leaders demands for us to develop the literacies, skills, and attributes to actively design a better world.

Ultimately, relationships and trust are foundational to our community. We grow, fail, and progress together.
